HarioV60 Switch 03.

The verdict in one line: Hario's own spec sheet confirms this glass, size 03 Switch dripper (SSD-360-B) fits our pour-over guide's five-stage pour method and single-cup 15g to 250g recipe inside its stated 360 milliliter capacity, but that same capacity rules out the guide's per-cup scaler pushed to two cups in one brew.

Plain speech

Buy it, or don't.

For you if

  • You're following our pour-over guide's exact five-stage pour method: Hario states this dripper brews like a standard V60 pour-over when the switch stays open.
  • You brew a single cup at our guide's 15g to 250g ratio: that 250g pour sits inside the dripper's stated 360 milliliter capacity with room to spare.
  • You want a vessel rated for our guide's near-boiling contact water: Hario states the bowl is borosilicate, heatproof glass.

Not for you if

  • You want to brew two cups, 30g of coffee to 500g of water, in one pass: that scale runs past the dripper's stated 360 milliliter capacity.
  • You want to follow the product's own stock recipe out of the box: the recommended recipe on the fetched retailer listing runs a tighter ratio, about 20g coffee to 240g water, than our guide's 1:16 to 1:17 window.
  • You need a stated product weight before buying: neither of the two sources fetched this run publishes one.

Questions, answered plainly

FAQ.

Hario’s own product page lists this dripper as the V60 SWITCH Glass Dripper, sold in size 03 under product code SSD-360-B, a borosilicate glass cone on a silicone rubber base with a PCT resin switch and a stainless steel ball, made in Japan. Our own pour-over guide’s gear list names “Hario V60 dripper and paper filters” as required equipment without naming a size or model, and Hario states this Switch dripper is “a hybrid method that allows you to brew like a standard V60 pour over, or as an immersion brewer,” covering the guide’s own five-stage pour method when the switch is left open.

The guide’s base recipe doses 15g of coffee to 250g of water for one cup, a pour that sits comfortably inside the size 03’s stated 360 Milliliters capacity. That same capacity becomes a limit once the guide’s per-cup scaler, built to run the same ratio through more cups, gets pushed to two cups: 30g of coffee and 500g of water together run past what the dripper can hold in a single brew. A recommended recipe on Cremashop’s retailer listing also runs tighter than our guide, 20g of coffee to 240g of hot water over a 2-minute immersion, closer to a 1:12 ratio than the guide’s 1:16 to 1:17 window.

Hario ships the size 03 Switch with a 40 pack of tabbed white filters sized to the dripper, matching the rinse step our guide’s prep stage calls for. The bowl itself is borosilicate, heatproof glass, built to hold the guide’s fresh-off-the-boil water, 90 to 96C (195 to 205F) at contact, through the brew.

FAQ

What size and model does this dossier cover?

The glass V60 SWITCH dripper, size 03, product code SSD-360-B. The Amazon listing checked this run, amazon.com/dp/B09JL4R6SX, lists this same Switch immersion dripper in size 03.

How much water does the size 03 Switch hold?

Hario states a capacity of 360 Milliliters. Our pour-over guide’s base recipe pours 250g of water for one cup, which fits, but the guide’s per-cup scaler, built to run that same ratio through more cups, doesn’t fit here past one cup: a 2-cup pour, 500g of water, exceeds the dripper’s stated capacity.

Can I brew a standard pour-over with this, or only immersion?

Both. Hario’s product page states the dripper is “a hybrid method that allows you to brew like a standard V60 pour over, or as an immersion brewer,” depending on the switch position, so our guide’s five-stage pour method applies directly when the switch is left open.

What filters does it use, and are they included?

Hario ships the size 03 Switch with a 40 pack of tabbed white filters sized to the dripper. Our guide’s prep step calls for rinsing the paper filter with hot water before brewing, which applies to these filters the same as any V60 paper filter.

Not exactly. Cremashop’s listing states a recommended recipe of 20g of coffee to 240g of hot water over a 2-minute immersion, close to a 1:12 ratio. Our guide’s base ratio runs 1:16 to 1:17, wider than that retailer recipe.
